Variation in exposure to sex hormones during early development contributes to phenotypic plasticity in vertebrate offspring. As a proposed marker for prenatal sex hormone exposure and because of their association with various physiological and behavioral characteristics, digit ratio and/or digit length have received notable interest within the field of evolutionary ecology. However, the validit...

In cycling, biomechanical posture optimization strives to improve core stability and symmetry in the lower upper extremities raise power output. addition, shape pose of cyclists determine projected frontal area, which is major factor influencing drag during cycling. this study, a high-fidelity prototype garment was developed that includes kinetic bands proprioceptive devices adjust The aim meas...

High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) with backscattered electrons (BSE) under a low accelerating voltage provided images with compositional information about Pt nano-particles with a diameter of approximately 6 nm that were dispersed in mesoporous silica (SBA-15). The dispersion of Pt nano-particles in mesoporous silica was investigated using the BSE imaging method in combinati...

This paper describes a modification of the conventional M-ary Differential Phase Shift Keying MDPSK scheme. This method reduces the number of phases which improves the performance of the system by applying a mathematical method from the combinatorial theory called Balanced Incomplete Block Design BIB-design. It is a coding modulation technique in which the signal is represented by a set of phas...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the importance of algebraic coding theory and to investigate the special case in which BIB designs and codes are constructed from planar near-rings. Application of planar near-rings to binary codes were first explored by Modisett [12] and by Fuchs, Hofer and Pilz [14]. Key word: planar near-ring, incidence structure, tactical configuration, BIBD, binary c...

bzbview is intended for small personal databases. There may be problems with databases consisting of more than 1000 entries. It is desirable to search in more than one database. The consistency check should be more sophisticated and, for example, look for duplicate entries. The algorithm for key generation is fixed. The user should be able to define his own method for key generation. Comments i...
